Chapter 11 - Allure

Milo was leaning by his car by the time I came from a short walk I had taken with Boris. He had dark sunglasses over his eyes and the sleeves of his black shirt were rolled up to his elbows. 

His tattoos were on full display and his full beard only gave him an allure of darkness, mystery, and maturity. He embodied the definition of a man. 

There was no bodyguard in sight. I always thought he never went anywhere with his security detail, aka, his fellow criminal friends. Every single one of those men who followed him had blood on their hands. 

It was shocking to see Milo outside of the bedroom. He and I had gotten into a routine of him coming to my room, staring at me, and then jerking off. Every single time, he came on my breasts and then he left. 

He didn't touch me once in that one week. 

After he left, I was ashamed to say I also fingered myself and refused to wipe off his cum. The whole thing was hotter than I cared to admit. 

"Milo…" I muttered. 

He got off the car and stood in front of me with his hands in his pockets. I couldn't see his eyes but I knew he was taking me in. Everywhere his eyes landed, he left a trail of fire in his wake. 

It was strange how my body reacted to him. He didn't have to touch me to make insatiable need settle between my legs. 

"You look gorgeous." Three words. He said three words and all I wanted to do was smile until the next year. It was pathetic how much I was attracted to the man who threatened my life and my father's.

"Thank you," I said as I looked away. I didn't want him to see me blushing and think I liked him. 

"There is a dress on your bed and some jewelry and shoes. Wear them and meet me down here."

"Where are we going?" 

He grabbed my chin and pulled me closer. Our chests were almost touching and our breaths mingled. I wanted nothing more but for him to kiss me. But he didn't.

In fact, he had never kissed me since that night two years ago. 

"I'm taking you out. Now be a good girl and put on that dress."

I gritted my teeth, resistance at the tip of my tongue but I didn't say anything. Milo would never allow me to defy him and after witnessing him with the blood of a man who was near death, I wasn't eager to see what he did to those who didn't obey him. 

We might have had our little escapades in the bed where he jerked off in front of me and I fingered myself after he left but I couldn't forget he was a murderer. 

I turned to leave but he grabbed the back of my neck and pulled me back. I squealed in shock. The gesture was possessive and dominant in a way that turned me on. 

It was like he was staking his claim and showing me he was the one who called the shots in our arrangement. 

He leaned into my ear and whispered, "Behave like a good little girl and I'll give you a reward."

His words would have been innocent to someone else but I sensed the sexual undertone in them.

I should have thrust my knee where the sun didn't shine but I didn't. His words made my body light up in anticipation. I couldn't have been more eager to be rewarded by Milo. I wondered if his punishment would make me just as excited. 

When he released me, he turned his attention back to his phone. He acted like he hadn't been acting like my owner with the neck-grab. 

I turned away and walked back to the penthouse with wobbly legs. I thought I would fall but I didn't. This time, Boris didn't tail behind me like he always did. He remained with his boss outside. 

He was probably telling Milo every single detail of my life including when I took a piss. 

Once I was in the penthouse, I walked into the bedroom intending to wear something very different from what Milo wanted. However, when I saw the dress lying on top of the bed, I almost cried. 

It was the most gorgeous dress I had ever seen. 

It was a burgundy full-length gown with thin shoulder straps and a fitted bodice. The fabric of the dress was satin which made it soft and elegant. It featured a high slit on one side, extending up the thigh. 

And it fit me perfectly. It hugged my body like a second skin and flowed beautifully to the floor. The silver heels to match had an open-toe design with a clear strap across the toes that was adorned with a large sparkling bow made of rhinestones. 

The jewelry almost made me faint. The necklace had large teardrop-shaped emeralds surrounded by radiant-cut diamonds. It had an intricate diamond pattern with various sizes of round and teardrop diamonds, creating a cascading effect.

The earrings were also teardrop emeralds surrounded by diamonds. The bracelet also had the same design. I had to have been wearing a lot of money on my body.

I took my sweet time showering just so I would make Milo wait. After that, I put on a thin layer of makeup and straightened my ginger hair. It cascaded down my back softly, accentuating the whole look. 

I would be lying if I said I didn't like the idea of being treated the way Milo treated me. He didn't waste a single expense on me. For the first time in my life, someone took care of me. 

By the time I stepped out, it was already dark out and I was carrying a silver clutch with my phone inside. Milo was outside smoking as he spoke to someone on the phone. 

I couldn't believe he waited for me for almost two hours without badgering me to get out. All the men I had ever dated would have never waited two hours for me to get ready. 

When Milo saw me, he stopped. Even with his sunglasses, I knew he was captivated by me. He paused just to look at me. I'd never felt more desirable and beautiful. 

He cut the call immediately and walked toward me after he put out his cigarette. 

"I didn't know you smoked…" I whispered. 

"There's a lot you don't know about me, little girl."

He was right. I was little because even in six-inch heels, my head barely reached his shoulders. Despite this, I didn't like it when he called me little. 

"There is nothing little about me," I protested. 

He took off his sunglasses and openly ogled me. I fought the urge to shuffle my feet in a nervous gesture. Everything he did put me on edge. 

"You're right," he said as he stared at my cleavage. "You're gorgeous, dochka. It's taking everything in me not to carry you back into the penthouse and fuck you until everyone in this hotel knows you're mine."
